I've found the times when I'm driving in the car with the kids are one of the best for talking with them. There's no TV, no video games, no distractions. So, on Sunday on the way to church we were talking about what Easter is really about. Everyone knows how commercial the major holidays have become and how easy it is for kids to get pulled in to it all. So, I wanted to be sure to talk to them about how important Easter is to us and how Jesus died to save us from our sins.
I think most of the conversation went over Natalie's head- she's still a little too young to understand. But, as with just about everything with Ethan, he was full of questions. We talked about Good Friday and what happened on Easter morning and then how Jesus rose to heaven. Of course, the subject of Jesus rising up to heaven produced the expected question. Jesus can fly? To which I replied that Jesus can do anything. Ethan's response? Yeah, if Jesus were playing tag he could tag you without even moving. I think I laughed the rest of the way to church as I pictured Jesus and the disciples in an energetic game of tag!
